Atop Olympus, Miracleman presides over a brave new world forged from London's destruction. It is a world free of war, of famine, of poverty. A world of countless wonders. A world where pilgrims scale Olympus' peak to petition their living god while, miles below, the dead return in fantastic android bodies. It is an Age of Miracles - but is humankind ready for it? Do we even want it? Is there a place for humanity in a world of gods? Gaiman and Buckingham delve into the lives of lonely idealists, rebellious schoolchildren and fracturing families - exploring the human constant in a changing world of gods and miracles. Collecting MIRACLEMAN (1985) #17-22 and material from TOTAL ECLIPSE #4 [as presented in MIRACLEMAN BY GAIMAN \u0026amp; BUCKINGHAM #1-6].As the   creator of The Sandman for DC   Comics, writer Neil Gaiman has won every major award in the comics industry, as well as   the prestigious 1991 World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story, the only   comic-book writer ever to be awarded this literary honor. Cited by the LA Times as “the greatest epic in   the history of comic books,” the ten Sandman collections have sold several   million copies and remain in print to this day. Having thus made his mark,   Gaiman wrote another highly regarded series for DC with Books of Magic. Also noteworthy was   his work on Eclipse Comics’ Miracleman, which he picked up after close friend Alan Moore left the   book. In addition, Gaiman collaborated with Terry Pratchett on the wistful   apocalypse novel Good Omens and in 1997 wrote the BBC teleplay Neverwhere, a story he later adapted into a novel. Gaiman’s other novels,   American Gods and his   children’s book Coraline,   garnered New York Times   best-selling status and international acclaim including the Hugo, Nebula and   Bram Stoker Awards. In 2001, Gaiman made his first foray into Marvel Comics   with his series Marvel 1602, a series in which Gaiman took the core cast of Marvel’s   Silver Age comics, placed them 400 years in the past and retold their stories   in his own inimitable way. Aided by stunning art from Andy Kubert and Richard   Isanove, Marvel 1602   was the top-selling comic of the year. Next venturing into film, Gaiman   collaborated with artist Dave McKean — a compatriot from his days on Sandman — on the   feature Mirrormask, a   mix of live-action, animation and puppetry that saw its critically acclaimed   premiere in late 2005. As a passionate defender of the First Amendment, the   Comic Book Legal Defense Fund named Gaiman the 1997 Defender of Liberty, and   he now serves on that organization’s Board of Directors. Born in Porchester,   England, Gaiman lives outside Minneapolis with his wife, Mary, and their   three children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing   up in England, Mark Buckingham   always dreamed of drawing comics. In 1987, he inked the best-selling Death: The High Cost of Living by   Neil Gaiman and Chris Bachalo. He went on to contribute to The Sandman, Hellblazer and Shade the Changing Man. Buckingham has been the regular artist on Batman: Shadow of the Bat, The Titans, Peter Parker: Spider-Man and Fables.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301129441509,"sku":"NP9780785190561","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780785190561.jpg?v=1767732769","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/miracleman-by-gaiman-buckingham-the-golden-age-isbn-9780785190561","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
